The US has asked its allies, including Germany, to send as many eggs as they can and that's despite the looming threat of escalating tariffs on European imports. But does Germany have its own egg problem?

I’m sure this is going over well after all of the threats of tariffs the Neo-Nazi-salute giving Republicans have given.

    Yes, Germans should absolutely deliver lots of extra eggs, personally and ballistically, direct to the White House…

    Is it even possible to export a significant amount of eggs over the ocean?

      Yes. You can keep eggs for weeks, and airplanes make the trip in a few hours.

          That’s the kind of question that is very pertinent in normal times, but that we have no idea what the answer will be tomorrow.

          Normally, no, eggs “never” have such a bad distribution and people so willing into getting them that it’s worth crossing an ocean by plane to get them.

      Americans wash the protective layer off of eggs and so they go bad more quickly.

      Crack eggs, pasteurize them, and pack them in canisters. They keep for ages. Use those for making industrial products instead of cracking local eggs.

    No egg problem here. But we hopefully don’t create one by exporting valuable eggs to the US.
